Alignment after lift
Took truck to what I thought was a reputable alignment center after installing a lift kit.Truck was lifted only 3 inches and new control arms came with kit.I installed the Solid Steel Ind's track bar ....nice piece.... in hopes of getting rid of the death wobble I experienced.New springs and arms do well and the shocks,although a little soft,seemed to have solved the problem;I occasionally still felt the truck trying to do the death wobble.
Shop said that caster was way off at 6.0*,but could only adjust cam bolts to 4.5* max.From reading posts here from DaveM and others...I need at least 3.2.to 3.5*.The only way I see to solve this is to obtain longer lower control arms. ...interesting to note though;the truck seems to be much better and I could not force it into a death wobble.Would you guys let it go and see if it solves it or get the longer arms to get my caster where it should be
The toe-in was at .49 which we all agreed to what wore my front tires down in only 14K miles.Rear tires were bald from being immature so I installed new tires all the way around and the truck seems to be better all around.What do you guys think??
